DENVER — Denver Broncos' second-year year cornerback Faion Hicks is out on bond after he was arrested Saturday on three charges filed by police in Hallandale, Florida.

According to court records, the most serious offense was a third-degree felony charged for carrying a concealed firearm.

Hicks appeared to be pulled over by police after he "disobeyed a stop sign." Besides the traffic violation and concealed firearm charge, Hicks was cited for having an expired driver's license of less than four months, according to court records.

Hicks, 25, was the Broncos' seventh-round draft pick out of Wisconsin last year. He played in two games last year, with all snaps coming on special teams.
